Chapter 1128 Failed the Bid

last update Last Updated: 2024-08-30 17:41:42
Angel's face fell instantly when she saw the Anthony family's company name appearing on the big screen.

She failed!

Paisley actually succeeded. She was about the same age as Paisley, so the contrast between her failure and Paisley's success was too clear. Angel knew that everyone would laugh at her for being inferior to Paisley.

How could she not compare to Paisley when she was much stronger than the latter? However, the main problem for her now was how she should face Fandrey and Callum.

Meanwhile, Deborah and Fandrey were sitting on the sofa in the living room in the Floyd family. Callum asked the servants to leave and sat opposite his parents. "Mom and Dad, I have something to say to you."

Fandrey had already guessed what Callum was going to say. He was expressionless, but Deborah was very surprised. "What do you have to say that you have to ask the servants to leave?"

"I want to talk to you about Angel and Emily. I took her to see Emily last nigh

    Fandrey was silent for a moment before he asked, "It's a little strange. Do you have any suspicions?" "At the moment, all the participants are trustworthy people. I will arrange someone to investigate." "I'll handle the investigation. Failure is not necessarily a bad thing and it may be a blessing in disguise. Let's wait and see. It may really be a good thing in the end." Callum was very quick to realize that there was a hidden meaning in Fandrey's words. "Dad, do you know what happened?" "I don't know, but I just like to think positvely." Fandrey didn't want to continue the topic, "How is Angel feeling now?" "She's crying in the office." "Go and comfort her. After all, it's her first job and it's normal for her to feel upset if she fails." Angel wiped her tears in the office not only because she was humiliated, but also because she wanted to gain Callum's pity. Callum only glanced at her when he arrived at the company before he went back

    The private room that they have booked was on the third floor. It was three rooms away from the one that Richard had entered just now. Angel desperately wanted to know who was Richard having an appointment with. However, she currently had more important things to do. She needed to make sure that Emily would agree to set foot out of the house with Azalea. Angel sent a message to Azalea after entering the private room alongside Callum. Azalea reverted the message in which she was on her way towards the restaurant with Emily. Angel then said to Callum after confirming that Emily would be attending the meal together, "Dad, Emily would be arriving soon. Let's order the dishes first." "Okay, that sounds great." Callum was delighted and had a glance at the menu. He then selected the dishes according to Emily's preference. The both of them had been waiting in the private room for more than twenty minutes. Azalea sent a message to Angel which stated, "Angel, I've brought

    Callum took Angel to the hospital for a body checkup and also attend to the injury on her forehead. Emily did not feel like tagging along but she was worried that Callum would be suspicious about her. Angel was now deemed as her biological daughter after all. Azalea also kept insisted on following them. Hence, both of them soon made a trip to the hospital as well. It would be inappropriate for Richard and Braelynn to follow them judging by current circumstances. Braelynn was no longer in the mood after experiencing such an incident and said, "I shall head back home for now." "No, that is not great as you did not even have anything just now. Let's head to somewhere else to have a meal together. What do you think?" Richard did not want to call it a day with Braelynn. She shook her head and said, "I do not have the appetite to consume anything. I feel uncomfortable upon thinking how Angel had fallen to the ground just now. Let us meet up next time instead."

    Angel began to complain about Paisley and she cursed, "Paisley has a bad reputation and has an embarrassing attitude. She even wore the same outfit as me during the bidding ceremony. That bitch must be the one who caused me to have an unlucky day." Ornard awkwardly took his phone and walked away upon hearing Angel's whining. Paisley vaguely heard her complaints as well. She was very sure that Angel was scolding her upon seeing Ornard walking away with the phone. Paisley was utterly furious upon hearing about it. She then began to browse the news with her mobile phone to avoid showing her anger under the presence of Ornard. Ornard changed the subject to the Floyd family after hearing Angel's grumble for a while, "Angel, your father alongside your grandfather did not blame you for failing the bidding activity today, did they?" "What do you think? I was given an earful and my grandfather was so mad that he had broken his cup. My father was also very upset about it,

    Emily instructed Azalea to take a seat upon returning to Azalea's apartment. She went straight to the point, "Why did you lie to me?" Azalea knew that Emily was mad at her. She did not understand why Emily was feeling upset as Angel was her biological daughter. Didn't Emily wish to see her at all? Wasn't Emily a cold-hearted person when she, as a mother, refused to spend time with her child? Azalea thought about it and swiftly apologized, "Aunt Emily, I am so sorry! It was Angel's idea in lying to you for setting foot out from the house and there was nothing that I can do about it. I am currently working in the Floyd family's company. I need to follow orders from the top management." "What? Are you saying that there is a free pass for you to deceive me when you were being forced by Angel who had abused her power? Does this mean that you would also help her out if she wants to get rid of me?" Emily questioned in an upset tone. "But... How is that poss

    Richard roared and rushed towards Michael before giving him a brutal punch on the face. Michael tilted his head and Richard's fist brushed past his face. Richard was increasingly pissed off upon noticing that his punch had missed Michael. He swiftly struck Michael for the second time. Michael was being hit but he did not fight back. "Richard! Calm down!" It was impossible for Richard to keep his cool! He was so mad that he was going bonkers! He punched and kicked Michael mercilessly. He cursed while hitting Michael, "You are an animal! You are a disgusting piece of shit! How dare you seduce her? How could you be so thick-skinned in doing this to her? I will f*king beat you to death today!" Abbie was astonished as well upon seeing Michael getting hit a few times. She screamed in an attempt to stop Richard from striking further, "Richard! Cut it out!" "Get off from me!" Richard simply pushed her away. He could not control his force as he was so furious

    Meadow was shocked and sprung up from her seat upon seeing Michael's bruised face alongside a red and swollen lip. "Michael, how could you... did Richard really lay a finger on you? How could he do this to you? I will get ahold of him and sort things out right now!" Michael ignored her and marched ahead to sit beside Wayne. "Grandpa, I am here!" "Alright then, do come clean to me. What is going on?" Wayne asked. Michael had decided to let his secret out and said, "Abbie and I are in love. However, Richard does not approve of our decision of being a couple. That is basically the entire story." "I share the same opinion with Richard of disallowing you to date Abbie. She is an utterly arrogant and impolite lady. One would be very unlucky to take her hand in marriage!" Wayne glanced at Meadow coldly as soon as she finished speaking. He questioned, "Did I give you a green light in interrupting my conversation with Michael?" "But... I am sorry!" Mead

    Meadow swiftly contacted Azalea and said, "Azalea, something has popped on my mind all of a sudden. Are Braelynn and Richard currently seeing each other?" "What? I don't think so. Who told you that?" "I just suddenly remembered something that relates to them. Angel would not have sneakily eavesdropped on Richard and Braelynn if they were only having an ordinary business appointment. I suspect that something fishy is going on between the two of them." Azalea had also recalled something upon hearing about it and said, "Oh, I have now seemed to remember the details when you have brought this topic up. I have recently seen Richard and Braelynn being together several times. Braelynn is a gorgeous lady and there is a very high possibility for her to be dating Richard. It would be increasingly impossible for me to seek revenge should they indeed become a couple." Azalea spoke in a dejected tone which was what Meadow had expected to achieve her objective.

    On the day of Azalea's recovery, she was escorted out of the hospital by two police officers to wait for her sentence. She was wearing shackles and handcuffs as she walked through the parking lot. She saw Michael with Abbie, who was holding Emma in her arms. Michael was holding Abbie's waist, ready to get into their car. Seeing that Michael had recovered, Azalea was extremely perplexed. She had learned from the police that Leonard's man had tried to kill her to silence her and knew that Leonard was using her, so she did not regret her vicious behavior. Azalea stared at the child in Abbie's arms and Michael as she started to have vicious thoughts. If the one who got injured that day was Abbie, and if Abbie died, everything would be different now, wouldn't it? Michael would be living a life worse than death. His child would not have a mother anymore, and no one could have what she couldn't. She would be satisfied. However, all of this was just her imaginatio

    After Leonard's matter was settled, Richard returned to the Clark family. Abbie wasn't asleep yet and was sitting alone in the living room in a daze. Richard walked to her and sat down. Then, he reached out and patted her on the shoulder. "Why aren't you asleep yet?" "I can't sleep. Richard, he... he will be fine, won't he?" "Don't think too much. He will be fine." "I don't want anything to happen to him... Richard, I actually hate him very much and have never thought of being with him again. I have suffered enough! Every time I made up my mind to cut all ties with him, something bad would happen like what happened now. Richard, what should I do?" Richard understood Abbie's dilemma. "Abbie, do you still love him?" "I don't know! I hate him! I hate him so much!" "You can't let him go, can you? You and he broke up three times, but he has always been in your heart." Richard sighed. "To be honest, I don't want you and him to start over again. After

    It was late at night in Azalea's ward as she lay on the bed and fell asleep with her eyes closed. Three of Azalea's ribs were broken while one of her hands was handcuffed to the hospital bed. The policeman guarding her felt that there was no way she could escape, so he relaxed his guard. The man who was arranged by Leonard's assistant had been waiting for the right moment in the hospital. Then, they immediately entered the ward and attacked Azalea when they saw that the policeman had left. Just as they covered Azalea's mouth and were about to suffocate her to death, a soft voice could be heard by the door of the ward. "Hey! Are you trying to silence her?" The man turned his head and saw that Bobby were taking photos with his mobile phone while Silas was bent over in laughter. Later, Leonard was woken up at 2 a.m. in the morning when Richard and his bodyguards came to visit him furiously. Leonard had already guessed the purpose of Richard's visit as soon as

    It had been two days since Leonard's assistant brought Azalea back to the city and she was specially sent here today to attack Michael. Although Azalea hated Michael, she did love him immensely in the past and she didn't want to kill him. The one she hated the most was still Abbie. She had been overshadowed by Abbie since she was a child and she had never won against her before. It was all thanks to Abbie now that she ended up like this. Michael wouldn't deal with her if it weren't for Abbie, and she wouldn't have been driven to a dead end like this. She was going to die in the end anyway, so she wanted nothing more than to drag Abbie down with her. She knew that she couldn't get close to Abbie. Besides, she also knew very well that Leonard wanted to use her to kill Michael so that he could marry Abbie. Azalea acted as if she had been persuaded by Leonard's assistant to attack Michael, but in fact, her target was Abbie all along. She saw how desperat

    Azalea looked up when she heard the voice and met Leonard's assistant's gaze in the car. She stopped crying once he got out of the car. "Miss Clark, I've been looking for you everywhere!" Azalea lowered her head frantically when she saw him, but he said warmly, "Miss Clark, get in the car." She didn't know if Leonard's assistant knew about the murder she'd committed, so she hesitated for a moment before getting into the car. He then gave her a bottle of water and some food. Azalea was famished because she hadn't eaten anything for a few days, so she wolfed down her food desperately. Leonard's assistant had been observing Azalea all this time, and he said once she finished eating, "I know what you've done! The police are now looking for you everywhere." Azalea's expression was filled with panic. "Are you going to hand me over to the police?" "No, I'm here to help you." "How can you do that?" Azalea asked in frustration. "I won't be a

    It started to rain again early in the morning, which made the air in the mountains damp and cold. Meanwhile, Azalea lay motionlessly on the messy bed. She could hear the child's wailing from outside while Monthel's mother tried to coax the child. However, there was no sign of it ending even after some time. Monthel's mother started to become angry as well, so she scolded the child and eventually began to target Azalea again. "Why are you still lying in bed at this time? I've never seen someone as lazy as you. A wife should get up early in the morning to cook, but you are the only one who will laze around like this!" This was not the first time that Azalea had been scolded. Monthel's mother had begun to pick on her the second day after she arrived. Azalea would fight back initially, but she no longer dared to talk back after she was slapped in the face by Monthel. Monthel's mother cursed outside for a while. Then, she lifted the curtain and came into the ro

    Leonard's expression turned very ugly, but Richard did not give him a chance to even catch his breath. "After I learnt of your relationship with her, I sent someone to extract the DNA of the fetus in Evelyn's belly and compare it with yours. The results show that she's indeed pregnant with your child, but you can verify it personally if you don't believe me." Since Richard dared to say this, there was no possibility for Leonard to turn the tables. The veins on Leonard's forehead bulged as he was filled with humiliation. He initially wanted to get back at Fandrey by asking him to propose the marriage to the Clark family, but she ended up being embarrased like this. He was furious, but Richard continued, "We are very grateful to you for saving Abbie's life. Although she can't marry you, we can continue to be friends if you want to." What could Leonard say? He had done a terrible mistake, so he couldn't possibly tell Richard that he wanted to cut all ties between t

    Abbie tried her best to escape, but it was useless. Michael even kissed her on the face a few times, which made her so angry that her voice trembled. "Michael... F*ck you... I'm going to kill you!" Michael turned a deaf ear to her words because he hadn't been so close to Abbie for such a long time. He missed her like crazy, so how could he bring himself to let her go? Abbie kept struggling desperately, but her physical strength was no match for Michael's. Michael then carried her back to the sofa, which made her furious because she couldn't escape. "Michael, what are you trying to do?" Michael did not answer her at all. Instead, he just hugged her so tightly as if he didn't want to let her go at all. He hugged her for such a long time that her whole body had gone numb. "Michael, what's wrong with you? Let go of me! I can't move!" It was only then did Michael let go of Abbie. Her limbs had already gone numb and she felt extremely uncomfortable. Just t

    Michael happily placed the coffee he ordered for Abbie in front of her. "Here, I've ordered your favourite coffee." However, Abbie sneered and picked up the coffee to splash it all over him. The coffee was very hot, but Michael just smiled bitterly and said, "Do you hate me so much?" "What do you think?" Abbie looked at Michael coldly without any affection in her eyes. "My feelings for you have never changed! What happened between me and Azalea is all fake, and I've never had anything to do with her. The news with Anastasia was also fake. I was the one who used her to provoke Azalea, but Leonard made up those news articles to get back at me. I swear, I haven't been with anyone else apart from you!" Abbie let out a cold laugh, "Really?" "I'm serious! I swear that I'm not lying to you!" "There's no need to swear, or else even you'll beleive your own lies." Michael became desperate when it was obvious that Abbie didn't believe him. "What do I have
